Welcome to our blog

Our shared values in Y5: To care for myself and others by making sure we are all safe and happy. To be honest in all we do/say. We always work hard and try our best. We listen carefully and thoroughly. We make sure we are always giving our best, so everyone else can be the best that they can be. We look after our property. We like to be 'leaders' and not 'followers' We always choose the 'good' light inside of us. We make the right choices at the right time.Anyone can train hard for a short period. Winners give their best every hour of every day for months on end.

In 5V we like to stop and think - before we do or speak.

'Give children a thought and they’ll learn for a day. Teach them to think and they’ll learn for a lifetime.’David HyerleIf you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.- William Arthur Ward You cannot write it, if you cannot say it; you cannot say it, if you haven't heard it. - Pie Corbett

We love to share our way of thinking, it does help us in our learning!

Hi everyone! In Y5 we’ve been having fun this past week! We’ve been learning how to use a graphics software package, called Paint.Net and we all think this software is really cool! On the link you will find instructions on how to download this wonderful piece of free software. We’ve been learning about the ‘effects’ tool and the ‘cutting’ tool – [lasso select]. We first saved our background image and then used other images and select the part of the image we want to add on to our background. With the ‘effects’ tool our task was to select one of three options. There are many more to apply to your image, but for a first activity, we focused on the oil, ink and pencil effect. More collages will get published soon.

We have been looking at certain events throughout the war, here are a few dates on our timeline. Are there any more dates you can remember? – original image: BBC
